4.2 IP Test and Testing only
4.2.1 Please see Appendix – A-3 for process flow.

4.2.2 Telecom Services offers customers access to traditional termination services using IP
connectivity and transactions based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP - RFC
3261). The Telecom Services SIP gateway application is a tandem implementation of
the SIP protocol; that will accept and respond with the SIP methods/messages.
4.2.3 Security Method: Telecom Services provides IP addresses for SIP access. These IP
addresses are protected externally by access lists that limit the IP addresses that
have access to it. The Session Boarder Controller function further limits the flow of
packets to and from trusted IP addresses via industry standard methods.
4.2.4 Call Signaling: Telecom Services uses UDP on port number 5060.
4.2.5 Use of RFC 4028: Session Timers: Telecom Services periodically refreshes SIP
sessions by sending repeated INVITE requests. The repeated INVITE requests, or re-
INVITEs, are sent during an active call leg to determine the status of a session.
4.2.6 Route advance: Telecom Services maps ISUP Release Causes into SIP Response
Codes such as release to 503 or 404 to allow customers for route advance ( applies
for termination products: HDVT, TRS, WTS). Telecom Services conforms to RFC 3398
ISUP-SIP cause code mapping by default.
4.2.7 CODEC/Media guidelines: Telecom Services by default any of the CODEC’s below:
· G.711 PCMU
· G.711 PCMA
· G.726
· G.729 (20 ms)
4.2.8 DTMF guidelines: Telecom Services prefers RFC 2833 for DTMF. Optionally, in-band
G.711 pass-thru for DTMF digits can also be configured.
4.2.9 Facsimile (FAX) transmission guidelines: Telecom Services supports T.38 fax. G.711,
non-compressed pass-thru is preferred, however.

TELECOM SERVICES
4.2.10 SIP signaling gateways: Typically there will be at least two SIP gateways active within
the Telephone network under normal circumstances (subject change at any time).
Each will be reachable via a distinct IP address. Customer will provide call volume to
accurately determine number of SIP gateways required.
4.2.11 Please note: all moves, adds, and changes to your service must go through your
Telecom Services Sales Director.

7.0 Network Maintenance/Change Management
7.1 Telecom Services
7.1.1 Maintenance Windows
All Telecom Services routine maintenance will be conducted during established maintenance
window(s). Currently, the Telecom Services standard network maintenance window is: 12:01
AM to 6:00 AM (local time) Monday – Sunday.
Note: While the specified maintenance window is six hours, maintenance may not require the
use of this entire window.
Note: Maintenance may be restricted during holiday periods including Thanksgiving, Christmas,
and New Year.
7.1.2 Maintenance/Change Types
Maintenance is work that must be performed for the Telecom Services network and services to
continue operating effectively. Maintenance is organized into three general types of work:
· Standard Maintenance
· Emergency Maintenance
· Routine Maintenance
Standard Maintenance is any planned or predictable need to make a change to the current
state of the Network, Systems, Voice, Video, Commercial, or Plant infrastructures serving
Telecom Services Customers. Standard maintenance is performed during the standard Telecom
Services maintenance window as defined in Section 7.1.1 above.
Emergency Maintenance is work that addresses:
· A network condition exists that requires immediate action to resolve impairment or to

prevent an imminent loss of service
· The proactive mitigation of potential trouble or a significant security threat
· The change must occur outside of a maintenance window
Routine Maintenance represents pre-approved (within Telecom Services), routine and/or

repeatable change to the current state of the Network, Systems, Voice, Video, Commercial, or
Plant infrastructures serving Telecom Services customers. Routine maintenance has no
potential of impacting the service of Telecom Services customers.

TELECOM SERVICES
9.0 Post Mortem Reviews (Event Analysis)
9.1 A post-mortem review will be carried out for a Priority 1 Event, outlined in Section 5.0, if it
has been requested by either Telecom Services or at the written request of the Customer.
9.1.2 The post mortem investigation and review is a collaborative effort between Telecom
Services and the Customer and will be used to:
· Identify root cause of a process or system failure;

· Identify areas for performance improvement; and
· Develop action plans for process or system improvement to mitigate recurrence.
9.1.3 Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, a preliminary post-mortem review will be
provided to the Customer within five business days following the initial request. An updated
version of the post-mortem will be made available within ten business days of issuing the
preliminary post-mortem. If more than ten business days is needed to conclude the post
mortem review then both parties will agree to a mutually acceptable timeline for completion.
9.1.4 Intercompany meetings / teleconferences will be held as appropriate to ensure that all
issues are appropriately identified and addressed and brought to full closure.
9.1.5 Affirmative reporting to the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) by the Telecom
Services Regulatory and Government Affairs V.P. (“Regulatory V.P.”) is required for any outage
that surpasses FCC-established thresholds and a post-mortem review will be conducted each.
The definition of a defined outage by the FCC is generally a significant degradation in the ability
of an end user to establish and maintain a channel of communications as a result of failure or
degradation in the performance of a communications provider’s network. The FCC further
defined a “significant degradation” to mean a “complete loss of service or connectivity to
customers. The FCC determines the extent of a defined outage by the number of “user-
minutes” which is a mathematical result of multiplying the outage’s duration expressed in
minutes and the number of users potentially affected by the outage. For example, a 30-minute
outage that potentially affects 30,000 end users also potentially affects 900,000 user-minutes
(30 minutes x 30,000 users = 900,000 user-minutes). These FCC reporting requirements apply
broadly, and include 911 special facilities, CLEC tandem switches, SS7 functionality, and other
network components and functions. The first report to the FCC is required within 120 minutes
of discovering the reportable outage, therefore, it is imperative that the Regulatory V.P. is
notified immediately upon discovery of the reportable outage. Due to complexities of the FCC’s
rules, contact the Regulatory V.P. 24/7 immediately upon learning of a significant outage in
order for his assessment of report ability. Regulatory V.P.: Robert McCausland Cell/Text 469-644-
4954.

TELECOM SERVICES
10.0 Fraudulent Traffic
10.1 Telecom Services remains committed to combating fraudulent traffic of all types, and
works cooperatively with law enforcement and with other providers in that effort. Telecom
Services cannot and will not tolerate the use of its network for the completion of fraudulent
traffic.
10.2 Please contact West Fraud Department via email or call advising of potential Fraud,

· Please send notification to: fraud@west.com

· Please contact the West Fraud Department at 877-834-9564
10.3 Escalation notification for Fraudulent Traffic activities should be sent as follows:
· Please send notification to: TSinvestigations@west.com
11.0 CALEA and Law Enforcement Request/Demand
11.1 The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (“CALEA”) was enacted in
1994 to ensure that properly-authorized electronic surveillance could be conducted on
modern networks by law enforcement agencies. Under CALEA, providers (including Telecom
Services) and equipment manufacturers must provide the required interfaces and capabilities
for traditional voice networks and for Interconnected VoIP and broadband networks. Both
voice and Internet traffic is included.
11.2 To ensure compliance, Immediately, 24 x 7, refer all Communications Assistance for Law
Enforcement Act (“CALEA”) or demands inquires of any nature to: Robert McCausland
Cell/Text 469-644-4954 or David Lewis Cell/Text 469-231-3668.
Everything about each such request must be protected from disclosure to any unauthorized
individual, including employees, and all such requests must be carefully scrutinized by Telecom
Services’s CALEA Contacts to ensure complete and lawful authorization before any information
(e.g., CDRs and other call records, number assignments, customer information, carriers in the
call flows, or the like) or surveillance access is provided. No exception is permissible.
